It will trickle down. And the Really rich will not be effected much if any. The taxes will still be raised on the middle class in half the industries out there as he removes tax cuts. Personally I have paid 25 percent less in taxes the last two years. Making similar income to the previous year. I make a pretty good living. I don’t make 400 grand a year. He put 20000 back into my pocket. That is pretty tangible. You are a naive moron if you believe the middle class will not be smoked by this. You(left) want a bigger lower class. You have to have one to insure re-election. You are setting tax cuts on people making over 400000. Stop following the slight of hand. What does that give you. Less people making over 400000. What you should actually want is more people. It raises the median income for everyone along the way.
Edit: what did I do with that money? I hired another person. To help grow my business and to do some of the shit I am tired of doing. That is what happens. There is someone else making a pretty good wage because of that cut. Two years from now if Kamala gets in, I will have to re-evaluate I am sure. I am just hoping I can grow enough to keep the person before I get tax raped again.

That’s been well explained. You just don’t care to find the info. Hint: you won’t find it on msnbc
They’re real. Now being reported the FBI subpoenaed the emails as part of investigation in money laundering. Sure you don’t require the same level of authentication for your Trump conspiracies
Wife and I just sold our business and retired. As I bitched about the federal tax we were going to pay my accountant told me to be thankful we didnt sell under Barry at a 35% rate. The sale of our business is our retirement. Hell of a note when you are in business for over 40 years paying taxes, employing workers who pay taxes, selling to someone who will continue to pay taxes and you still gotta pay Uncle Sam a boat load of taxes when you sell. Its obscene.
Well, you know we're not going to agree. Biden might be the worst kind of politician, but Trump has not been the answer. I wish we could do a reset and start off with a new Congress and President, but unfortunately it doesn't work that way.
I don't put much stock in what either one says; it's called politics. The President is not the same as the CEO of a business. Board of directors work differently at different companies, but for the most part they hire a CEO and they get to do what they says. The candidates for President say what they are going to do, but they don't necessarily get to do it, as there is a Congress. Actually Trump is doing some harm by trying to issue executive orders, but that's another story. Health insurance was obviously a key issue which affects a lot of people directly. Yes, we need a better answer. But Trump just keeps on saying he has a plan, but we never get to see it. The Republicans had control of Congress for two years and still nothing got done; now it's almost impossible. So what they say isn't that important to me, on a relative basis.
To use your words, I was not worried when Trump was elected. But I am very worried that he could be reelected. He has already started us on a course that will take a long time to recover and I'm afraid he will continue down the wrong way.
I pretty much totally disagree and that's what I care about. If you plan on posting that bogus list of over 100 items, save your time. Signing bills that were passed by Congress is not doing a great job. And all those items that are not longer true - well, they are no longer true so it doesn't count for much. He has failed at the most important things such as dealing with the virus and bringing the country together. He has no interest in that unless he thinks there is something to help him win reelection. He has destroyed confidence in many parts of the government. He did lead the effort to get a vaccine in record time (I'm assuming we will have at least one), but has tried to put pressure to have it before the election (obviously, no longer happening) so that the public has lost a lot of confidence in whether it will be safe. I could go on, but I know you're not going to change.
Where do you see your taxes increasing in his plan? Am I talking to a corporation? That’s weird...

So your business is an LLC? And how did the tax cut allow you to lower your taxes to be able to afford another employee? I call bullshit.

Pretty easy. I never said what my business was or is. I was close to being able to afford an extra person before. After the break, I bit the bullet. You seem angry. Relax. If you want to continue suck at the teet of the government, you still can. I promise you he will repeal tax cuts and that will not be the final plan he goes with. It never is with the left. Got to pay for
All the stuff he promised. He will take it from the middle class in some shape or form. Did you pay more in the last two years or did you receive?

Yeah, The other countries are pissed because he's bringing peace to the Middle East and the Korean peninsula. On top of that they won't get a dime from Trump so they can play the climate change gambit. And what really pisses them off is he's making them pay for their own defense.
I was speaking recently. Thought you could read between the lines. Hardly anyone supports him after he kept no promises that he ran on. If I'm wrong, please break down the promises he kept for us.
I'm bewildered you can't grasp the concept. Corporations/the wealthy never pay for the tax hikes. The burden always falls to the middle class. The rich offset the tax increase by laying off middle class workers or raising the price of their goods or services, etc.... They may pay more, but the expense is always deferred.Where do you see your taxes increasing in his plan? Am I talking to a corporation? That’s weird...

That will make the rich either leave or close down their businesses. Most people rely on the rich because they create jobs for the middle class.
She wasn't 15 she was 20 and he's not married so what is the issue here?

Doesn't effect the Trump supporters because we understand the importance of this election. That's just an excuse at this point.
Science says if you are under 60 with no underlying conditions you will be just fine.
Best economy the world has ever know before the pandemic and rapidly getting back to where it was. "Continue down the wrong way" LOL. Yeah folks hate making more money.
Please explain why the list I have been posting is bogus. Because you say so?
Do you really believe that? Both the wealth gap and the income gap in this country has reached levels not seen since the 1920s. Are you suggesting that if the top 5% of earners in this country have to bear any additional tax burden that they will shut down their companies and flee the country?
I am not suggesting anything punitive. In fact, I would prefer a simplified flat tax with the elimination of nearly all deductions which by definition would be a more "fair" system. But to suggest any additional tax burden is destructive is silly and ignores history.
People need to stop believing this mischaracterization of the economy under Trump. The best measure of economic performance is GDP. Trump pre-covid did not enjoy the best GDP growth ever. Even looking at other measure, Trump's boasting of "the best economy ever" do not measure up.
US 2020 election: The economy under Trump in six charts
President Trump claims he has been responsible for the strongest US economy ever. What do the numbers show?

He’s also planning to increase corporate tax rates. That gets passed on to consumers.
I frequently see the left criticize Trump‘s “trade war“ with China because of the tariff increases, which they note are passed on to consumers in the form of higher prices. That is a fair criticism.
It’s also remarkably obtuse given their love for increased corporate taxes, which are also passed on the consumers in the form of higher prices (at least outside of the virtual monopolies in Silicon Valley). In competitive industries, which most are, all costs get passed down, including tariffs and taxes. The left notes this when arguing against the tariffs, but that’s only because Trump imposed them, and so for a brief moment, they will not ignore economic reality because it is politically convenient to them. But then it’s right back to normal when they ignore the same phenomenon with respect to corporate taxes.
So the notion that this increase in taxes is limited to people making over 400,000 is absolute fiction, but it appeals to people who hate corporations, so that’s why they push it. And then they have more money that they can spread around, which also appeals to their instincts.
None of that makes Trump any less odious, but I despise the lack of intellectual honesty about taxes.
It was better than ANYONE else.People need to stop believing this mischaracterization of the economy under Trump. The best measure of economic performance is GDP.

As for the analysis, I crack up when people point to GDP numbers from the 1950s. That’s the period when there was no manufacturing capacity in much of the developed world because of that thing called World War II. The percentages are also higher when the period before you is lower, because it’s always measured on a relative basis. So if you start in the shitter, a modest economic performance looks like the roaring 20s.
Still, I don’t disagree with the overall claim. The economy wasn’t materially different in the last three years than it was before, but it was trending in the right direction pre-Covid. I suspect to the degree government had any impact, regulatory reforms were responsible for that as much as the tax cuts, which were overstated (the virtual elimination of the state and local tax deduction resulted in an increase for many). But in large part, particularly in a divided government, not much has happened, so economic performance is mostly attributable to the underlying economy, not either political party. Pretty much like it has been for the last decade when, for the vast majority of time, neither party had the power to advance any significant legislative proposals.

You just don't get it and obviously didn't read what I wrote (or you are obtuse). More meaningless comments like most of the rest of your responses to other people this morning. Not worthy of any other response.
That's your opinion. And you're generalizing without providing specifics (classic leftist move). You got nothing bro.
I said "draw" not "drew". You took it to the past tense. Spin.
What did company’s do with the increased profits from paying less in taxes? Did they invest in people, R&D or PP&E? No they bought back shares...so they’ll buy less shares going forward. A tax increase back to the prior rate will have a very small impact in the financial health of these companies and their employees.
